Today, Lao Feng talked to you about two issues:
Question 1: What do the Japanese words "Inuyasha" and "Eight Grid Tooth Road" mean? What is the origin of the "Taijun" in the mouths of the people in the occupied areas during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression?
Question Two: Why did Columbus venture out to sea to discover the New World? Is he really for the cause of human navigation?
The full text is long posture, eye-opening, and it is recommended to read it.

We all know that the Japanese have the surname "Inuyasha", for example, the Japanese politician Inuyasha before World War II, his son Inuyasha Ken, and later The President of Japan Kyodo Society, Yasuhiko Inuyasha... Wait a minute.
Japanese politician Inuyasha
So why do Japanese people have such an "ugly" surname? Does "dog breeding" mean "dog mother raising"?
Actually, it's not.
It turns out that we have misunderstood the Japanese.
It turns out that Japanese has the grammar of "verb suffixing", for example, saying:
I am Chinese, and the grammar of Japanese is "I Chinese yes".
Another example: I like soccer, and the grammar of Japanese is "I like soccer".
In the same way, "inuyasha" in Japanese actually means "to raise a dog", which is to put the verb "to raise" in the back.
Yes, dog breeding, that is, raising dogs, in Japan, the surname of dog breeders, ancestors are dog breeding professional households, so the descendants are surnamed dog breeding.
Not the meaning of dog motherhood. It means to keep a dog. That's all.
Okay, so what about the Japanese word for "eight square teeth road", what does it mean?
In fact, the so-called "Bage Yaro" is actually a transliteration of the Kanji for the Japanese "baka yarō", but the official way this word is written in Japanese is as follows:
Projection: Idiot
Pronunciation: baka yarō
Yes, the Japanese character "Malu Noro" pronounces baka yarō, which means "stupid" or "bastard", which is a swear word in Japanese.

So why does the Japanese word "red deer" be used to refer to "stupid"?
In fact, it is derived from our ancient Chinese, Qin II and Zhao Gao "refer to the deer as horses" idiom story.
Yes, Japanese culture is deeply influenced by our Chinese culture, and our culture has profoundly influenced the Japanese language and writing.
Well, what does it mean to talk about the term "Taijun", which we often hear in anti-Japanese film and television works?
There is no standard answer. Opinions vary on this question, and there is still no standard answer.
In china in a very ancient time, there was a name for "Taijun", such as Yang Linggong's wife "She Taijun", which in ancient times referred to the wives of some highly respected and respected officials, but during the War of Resistance, the word "Taijun" was no longer commonly used as Chinese.
In the history of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the masses in china's occupied areas, out of fear, did call the Japanese devils "Taijun", but how did the name "Taijun" come about? What does it mean? There is no standard answer.
Why is there no standard answer?
Because during the war, no one studied this matter, the things of an era, if no one studied it at that time, once the era passed, it would be difficult to trace back to the source.
For example, Shanghainese call Indians "Ah San", why is it called "Ah San"? Because there was no study of its origin at that time, so, after a long time, the source can no longer be found, so there is no standard answer, the relatively reasonable explanation is: "A San" is the harmonic sound of the Shanghainese "Asir", because at that time, many Indians in Shanghai were policemen, so it was called "Asir", and the Shanghainese pronunciation was "Asan".
However, this is only reasoning, not the standard answer.
In the same way, why did the people in the wartime occupied areas call the devil "Taijun", because no one traced its origin at that time, so we do not have a standard answer today.
However, Lao Feng and I have consulted a huge amount of historical information for everyone, and so far, the most credible explanation is as follows:
"Taijun" should be
The pronunciation of "adult" in Japanese
Yes, in Japanese, the pronunciation of the two Chinese characters "Adult" is daijin, and the pronunciation of "Taijun" in Chinese is more than 90%, and there are many supporting materials for this statement, one of which is an illustration in the "Army Infantry Story Collection" written by Kunio Saito, which shows a scene in which chinese people call Japanese soldiers "Adult", as shown in the following figure:
Kunio Saito's "Army Infantry StoryBook" Illustration: Chinese people shout Japanese soldiers "adult"
We can deduce from this scene, from the ears of Japanese devils at that time, Chinese call them "Taijun", Japanese soldiers sound, is the Japanese pronunciation of the Chinese character "adult".
However, it is worth noting that the word "adult" is not commonly used in Japanese, so why did the devils of that year accept Chinese call them "adults" (太君)?
This is also a mystery.
However, it is likely that the Japanese army on the Chinese battlefield, through the interpretation of the translators (two devils, traitors), widely accepted the Chinese people to call them "adults". Therefore, the translators at that time (two devils, han traitors), teaching the people in the occupied areas, accommodated the habits of Japanese, and deliberately pronounced "adult" as daijin to cater to the hearing habits of Japanese devils.
That is to say, the logic of the emergence of the word "daijin" is likely to be like this:
Logic 1: The people in the occupied areas follow the old habit of calling all officials (including Japanese devils) "adults".
Logic two: The translator (er devil, traitor) explained to the Japanese army that "adult" means "chief", and the devil expressed acceptance.
Logic Three: In order to cater to the Japanese devils, the translator (er devil, han traitor) deliberately taught the people in the occupied areas to pronounce "adult" as daijin according to the Japanese pronunciation.
Logic Four: The people in the occupied areas do not understand Japanese, nor do they understand daijin, and according to their own understanding, they think that daijin is the "Taijun" in the history books.
Lao Feng believes that this explanation should be the most reasonable explanation so far.

We know from an early age that Columbus discovered the New World of America.
But why did Columbus discover the New World? Isn't it nice to lie on the couch at home and look at your phone? Why risk your life to set sail to discover the New World?
Columbus
It is said that Columbus set sail "for the cause of human navigation" and discovered the New World, or "for the great cause of human scientific exploration", so he set sail.
These false and empty statements are actually only suitable for children, and do not conform to historical facts.
We acknowledge that Columbus made an objective contribution to the cause of human navigation and the process of human globalization, but that was not his intention, it was only a consequence of the incidentality.
Columbus' Route Map
Columbus risked his life, sailed to sea, discovered the New World of the Americas, because the Spanish royal family and Columbus signed a "exploration and discovery" contract, the contract stipulated: the Spanish royal family funded, sent Columbus to the sea, explored the sea, and found, occupied, and harvested all the wealth that Columbus found, occupied, and harvested, including land, slaves, animals, gold, spices... The Spanish royal family shares 90%, and Columbus commissions 10%, which is the main motivation and purpose of Columbus risking his life and going to sea.
Yes, you read that right:
Columbus actually is
The founding father of colonialism
Yes, Columbus, in fact, the originator of Western colonialism, Columbus set sail in 1492, his mission was to discover and open up colonies for the Spanish royal family, to discover and obtain precious metals such as gold and spices, precious products and all wealth.
This is the truth of history.
What happened to Columbus, simply put, was this:
Cristoforo Colombo was born in 1451, and our Chinese side is the "second year of the Ming Empire Jingtai", that is, the period of the Ming Dynasty.
Columbus was a seafaring enthusiast, he had lobbied the kings of France, England, and Portugal to fund Columbus's voyages, and Columbus said that he knew a new route that could soon reach India and China and could bring back a lot of gold and spices for the royal family, but the kings of France, England, and Portugal either said that Columbus was crazy or that he was a liar, did not fund him.
Well, the Spanish royal family at that time, because of the war, there were financial problems, so the Spanish royal family, for Columbus's crazy plan, became interested, after all, the dead horse as a live horse doctor, can come to the project, may wish to understand.
So, Columbus has been lobbying the Spanish royal family for funding him to go to sea, why? Columbus said that he had heard for many years that on the other side of the ocean there was a rich country called China, and in addition, there was a rich country called India, especially the latter (India), which was a country rich in gold and spices, and not only that, but there must be a lot of land on the vast ocean that had not yet been discovered and occupied, so as long as the royal family funded and funded me Columbus to go to sea, then I would certainly be able to bring a lot of land and wealth to the royal family.
Then, on April 17, 1492, the Spanish royal family and Columbus signed a contract, the contract stipulated: the Spanish royal family funded and funded Columbus's voyage to the sea, and all the land and wealth discovered, occupied, and acquired by this voyage, Columbus commissioned 10%, so Columbus, who was full of ambition, set off.
However, although Columbus discovered the American continent, Columbus misunderstood the American continent at that time, and he mistakenly thought that it was India, so he called the Indians he saw on the American continent "Indians" (Indios, Spanish for "Indians").
A painting depicting Columbus's dealings with Indians
By the way, this is why in English, "Indian" and "Indian" are the same word, both are "Indian", this misunderstanding is from Columbus, and later people in English-speaking countries added "American" before "Indian" in order to distinguish, becoming "American Indian", literally translated as "American Indian", this is the reason.
For example, in 1493, Columbus captured some Indians from the Americas, forcibly took them on ships, transported them back to Spain, and sold them into slavery; at the same time, Columbus established Spanish colonial strongholds in the Americas, extorting local Indians, and each Indian had to hand over some gold to Columbus's fleet, otherwise he would beat you, and sometimes, Columbus's fleet drove the Indians by force to dig for gold in the gold mines found by Columbus.
These are, without a doubt, typical of the colonizers' behavior.
Columbus discovered the Americas, opened the door for Europeans to colonize the Americas, for the Indians, in fact, is the beginning of European invasion and colonization of the American continent, and Spain colonized the Americas, but also the beginning of the European colonization of the global atmosphere, so we say that Columbus is recognized, the founding father of Western colonialism, this statement, is basically in line with the facts.
So we say that Columbus is not only a great navigator and a great contributor to the "great geographical discovery", but at the same time, he is also a fierce colonist and the founder of the Western colonization of the world.
Well, let's take the last question in passing: the American continent was discovered by Columbus, so why is America called "America"? Since it was the Americas discovered by Columbus, the Americas should be called "Columbus Card".
Here's the thing:
Although Columbus discovered the Americas, he did not know that it was the Americas, nor did he know that it was a new continent, and Columbus had always mistakenly believed that the Americas he had discovered were actually India. But then, also in Italy, there was another navigator named Amerigo Vespucci:
Amerigo on the stamp
America also reached the Americas according to the routes recorded by Columbus, but Amerigo did a lot of field surveys in the Americas, and after the measurements, Amerigo believed that this continent was not India at all, not Asia, but a new continent.
The people of the world suddenly realized. In order to commemorate the contribution of Amerigo, later generations named the Americas "America", that is, America.
